12 GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN settings; through Saturday, May 12. (Dan- enberg, 1020 Madison Ave., at 79th St. Closed Monday .) JULES PASCIt-1 (I885-I930)-A charcoal drawing on view here entitled "Yvonne" shows a re- clining half-nude with an arm crooked over her head, viewed from a grotesque, dlmost gynecological angle. Her tense, sad face and relaxed, disregarded body are among the triumphs of modern figure drawing, and typify the achievement of this artist, who was born in Bucharest in 1885 as Julius Mordecai Pincas (of which Pdscin, adopted in 1905, is an anagram) and hanged himself in Paris at the age of forty-five. The exhibition includes paintings (produced with thinned oil paint, so that they have the quality of watercolors) and drawings (made in Paris, Cuba, and New Y urk, and representing various stages of the artist's development), and all dre dominated by Pascin's quick, free, nervously energetic line, which resonates with the grief and weariness of German Expressionism. A paperback book of a hundred and nine of Pascin's drawings with a fine introductory e ay by Alfred Werner (Dover), has been thoughtfully put on sale at the gallery. Through May 19.

WALKER EVANs-Robert Frost wrote of metaphor as "saying one thing and meaning another, saying one thing in terms of another, the pleasure of ulteriority," and throughout this exhibition-which includes three early pic- tures of details of the Coney Island roller- coaster, a number of the famous sharecropper - > : . " - - interiors and portraits of the thirties, and a landscape taken last month-ulteriority domi- nates and makes other people's overtly re- proachful photographs of the other An1erica seem weak and inconsequential in contrast. Evans organizes his photographs around the handsome relics of nineteenth-century ver- nacular that still exist in old farmhouses and on the streets of decaying small towns- archite tural details, commercial signs, pieces of furnlture, and obj ects of use-and permits the squalor and disorder that are his real sub- j ect to merely glimmer out of hi" elegant compositions, which they do with the distinct- ness of a cry. Some of the pictures in the ex- hibition are from among those that appeared in "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," James ;\gee's great work about himself, which arose from a magazine assignment that he and Evans received to, as ;\gee bitterly described it, "pry intimately into the lives of an un- defended and appallingly damaged group of human beings, an ignorant and helpless rural family, for the purpose of parading the nakedness, disadvantage, and humiliation of these lives before another group of human beings, in the name of science, of 'honest journalism' (whatever that paradox may 111ean), of humanity, of socia] fearlessness, for money, and for a reputation for crusading and for unbias which, when skillfully enough qualified, is exchangeable at any bank for lnoney." This exhibition, and a rereading of Agee's book prompted by it, del110nstrate how far into the heart of things the oblique can take us, and how much truth there is in "dishonest" art.
